Engine cleaning

[Daniil]

My 450 Desmo manual (back in 1969) advised the engine to be cleaned "with parafine." I never heard of it before. Can anyone describe the process? Any modern day alternatives that make your engine shiny? Thanks. Dan

I seem to remember it another name for Kerosene.

Thank you guys. The ingine is clean, but could use some shine. Will try silicon spray. Dan
